KefauYer Attacks
Shipment of Arms
To Saudi Arabia
Lehman To Demand
'Fullest Inquiry
Washington (UP.) Sen. Estes
Kefauver today denounced the
Eisenhower administration fo
authorizing a shipment of muni
tions to Saudi Arabia.
The Tennessee Democrat,
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, said the
shipment "can only serve to fur
ther upset the precarious bal
ance of arms in the Middle
East?"
The shipment also was criti
cized by Sen. Herbert H. Leh
man and Rep. Emanuel Celler,
both Democrats of New York.
To Demand Inquiry
Lehman said in a statement
that he is "going to demand the
fullest inquiry into this .shock
ing action on the part of our
government." He said "at the
same time that our government
refuses to make arms available
to Israel on the flimsiest of
justifications we continue to
ship arms to Saudi Arabia . .
Celler said in a statement that
the shipment "highlights the
' dangerous, impossible and con
tradictory position" of the ad
ministration in supplying arms
to Arab nations while denying
them to Israel.
But despite the congressional
criticism, administration offici
als defended the shipment from
South Port, N.C., of $850,000
worth of ammunition and re
placement parts for Saudi
Arabia.
They said that Israel is re
ceiving communications and oth
er equipment of defensive use
from the United States valued
at "considerably more than the
shipment going to Saudi Arabia."
No Specific Eraluation
There was no specific evalua
tion put on shipments to Israel.
But officials said some equip
ment in the way of communica
tions, military replacement and
other parts has been" flowing to
Israel despite U.S. refusal to
sell up to $64 million worth of
jet fighters, tanks and other
arms to the Jewish nation.
Kefauyer Denies
Aiding Sarena Case
Portland U.R) Sen. Estes
Kefauver, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for pres
ident, denied today that he tried
to help get patents for the Mc
Donald family .in the Al Sarena
mining claims in Rogue River
National Forest.
Asked about the accusation of
Douglas McKay, Republican can
didate for U. S. Senator, that he.
Kefauver, interceded in behalf
of granting the hotly disputed
mining patents, Kefauver said
he had "no independent recol
lection of writing any letters."
Kefauver said he asked his
administrative assistant about it.
"My office said there is a note
there that I met Clint McDade,
at Chattanooga. Tenn., business
man, down in New Orleans, Mr,
McDonald (one of the mine own
ers) might have been with him:
He said "McDade asked me to
see what was the situation re
garding these patents. There is
a notation that I checked, with
the Interior Department to let
them. know. That was a perfect
ly proper move. It happened in
1952 before McKay went to
Washington. He is mistaken if
he says I tried to help get the
patents.
McKay charged yesterday that
Kefauver "wrote three letters
to the mine owners telling them
how hard he was working to get
the patents issued."

Freeway Hearing
Location Change
Request Approved
Medford Mayor : Earl Miller
said today he has been notifeid
by the state highway commission
that the change in location for
a public hearing on the proposed
Highway 99 freeway in this area
has been approved.
The hearing May 24 will be
held in the Jackson county court
house auditorium instead of the
Medford city council chambers
as previously scheduled.
Chambers Too Small
-Mayor Miller said he wrote the
commission asking approval of ;
the change because he felt the
council chambers would not be
sufficient to accommodate the
anticipated crowd.
The commission notified
Mayor Miller that the hearing
can not be rescheduled to- eve
ning from 10 a.m. because of pre
vious committments. Mayor Mil
ler asked that the hearing con
tinue into the evening so resi
dents who worked during the
day could have a chance to ex
press their opinions.
The commission . suggested
that those vwho can not appear
during the day organize and ob
tain a spokesman for the morn
ing session.
Another Scorcher
Predicted for State
By UNITED PRESS
The weather' man predicted
another scorcher for Oregon to
day but said cooler weather was
in prospect for western Oregon
for primary election day to
morrow. Low humidity accompanied
the high temperatures, causing
scattered logging shutdowns in
Oregon and southwest Washing
ton. Logging must shut down
when humidity drops below 30
per cent.
The weather bureau said tem
peratures would range from 85
to 95 in western Oregon today
and would be about- 10 degrees
cooler Friday. Eastern Oregon
was expected to get highs of 80
to 90 both days with possible
thunder showers.
High temperature yesterday
was 94 at Grants Pass. It was
91 'at Roseburg, The Dalles and
Tillamook. Portland had 87, its

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Off-Street Parking Plan Is
Discussed by Budget Group
Committee Favors
Action; Sees No
Financial Means
Minor Adjustments
Authorized in Budget '
The possibility . of getting an
off-street parking plan under
way this year are not good, the
Medford budget committee
agreed last night.
Committee members, working
to prepare a 1956-57 city budget,
voted to write to the downtown
business and professional men
who have sought city funds to
get a program started, to inform
them that financial demands on
the city probably will not permit
such action.
The committee also directed
budget officer Robert Duff to
make a few minor adjustments
in the proposed $610,158 budget
now in preparation.
Off-Street Parking
Members of the committee
felt that something should be
done concerning off-street park
ing, but the group agreed there
is nothing which can be done
budgetwise during the next fis
cal year. Several members be
lieve that off-street parking
funds would be too much of an
expenditure for the general
fund, and that an election would
be necessary to provide money.
Councilman Stanley Jones
presented- a plan whfch he said
will be submitted to the council
for consideration soon.
Jones recommended that $40,-
000 be taken from parking reve
nues, and that a continuing levy
be established subject to the peo
ple's vote, to provide the $40,000
needed for the general fund.
Another $20,000 would come
from a more equitable business
and; Iicense4a?fi - Jones, said. ,'
Tax' Binder
The councilman said he felt
that an assessment district, in the
downtown area would not be
feasible because property own
ers would be burdened with ad
ditional taxes.
Previously, a group of busi
ness and professional men re
quested $60,000 for fiscal year
1956-57 for off-street parking
purposes. Of the total, $20,000
would come from parking meter
revenue, $20,000 from a more
equitable business and license
fee, and $20,000 from establish
ment of an assessment district.
The group also discussed the
possibility of combining an off
street parking program with the
proposed arterial street program,
pointing out that both are re
lated. Use of a continuing levy
for such a combined program
also, was discussed.
Budget Adjustments
Adjustments in the budget
produced by the committee in
clude $630 for a salary increase
for an assistant city manager,
and funds for an additional po
lice patrolman. The committee
also said some further consid
eration should be given the li
brary budget, and additional
funds be made available if prac
tical. Eric Allen Jr.," president of
the library board, submitted a
request for an additional $5,869
from the city. Allen said the
library can be assured of about
$22,000 from a county levy ex
clusive of the Ashland library
district, and a request has been
submitted to the county for more
than $27,000.
Allen pointed out the board
has asked the county to contrib
ute more this year because the
city has contributed sizable ad
ditional sums in previous years.
The 1956-57 library budget, he
said, will bring the per capita
cost to about $1, compared to
an accepted minimum standard
of $1,50 per capita. The library
was operated on a 73-cent per
capita basis this year, Allen said.
Additional Patrolman
The additional police patrol
man would be necessary if city
employees start on a 40-hour
week basis. Chief Charles
Champlin said. Champlin ex
plained that without the addi
tional patrolman, the investiga
tion department would remain
understaffed. Last year, a man
was dropped from the section
when the budget was cut.
Duff said Medford is about
the only city in its population
size group in the state which is
not on or will not go on a 40-
hour week basis. He noted that
Grants Pass is considering a 40-
hour week, and that Ashland
will go on a 40-hour week start
ing June 1.
He said moat city departments

Turnout for Primary
May Be 68
The overall voter turnout in
both parties in tomorrow's pri
mary election will be about 68
per cent. County Clerk Bereth
P. Hopkins predicted today.
Voting conditions should be
nearly ideal, according to the
weather bureau, which forecast
variable high cloudiness, and a
maximum temperature of about
80 degrees.
Election day is a legal holiday,
and all state: coiinty fand city
offices will close",'- except for
police agencies . and the county
clerk's office, which will remain
open to settle any election ques
tions and prepare for a canvass
of the vote. All three city banks
will remain open, contrary to an
earlier report.
No Electioneering
Mrs. Hopkins reminded voters
that no electioneering is per
mitted on election day. Candi
dates for local, state and na

campaigns this evening.

lished today.
Write-in Votes
. Write-in votes will receive
more ' attention this year than
in many prior elections, due to
the fact that Democrats have
no presidential or vice presiden
tial candidates on their ballot,
and Republicans have no vice

ing to a 40-hour week. The city
hall would be closed Saturday
mornings should the council ap
prove the 40-hour week.
Recommendation Made
The budget committee recom
mended to the council that nego
tiations continue for, the pur
chase of property at Camp
White. Duff said there is a pos
sibility that the government may
retake the land because the en
tire 1,000 acres is not to be used
for garbage and refuge dis
posal. He xsaid the land would
be valuable for several reasons,
including recreational,, and sew
age disposal.
The group asked that a traf
fic check be made to determine
the use of Prescott Park on Roxy
Ann butte. A total of $4,500 has
been budgeted for road repairs,
which will replace culverts and
gravel resurfacing. Duff pointed
out that extensive damage re
sulted from last winter's heavy
rains. ,
' In previous years, no allot
ments have been made for re
pairs although city crews have
done maintenance work on the
road each year. Duff said.
The budget committee will
meet again next Wednesday
night. r-

An X should be marked in

written in, although write-ins
will be counted even if there is
no X.
Members of one political party
can write in the name of a can
didate of another party, if they
wish. In some recent instances,
this has resulted in a candidate
receiving the nominationof "both
parties, thus eliminating a run
off in the fall general election.
Coverage Provided
The Mail Tribune and radio
station KYJC again this year
will team up to provide fast
coverage of the election returns.
Results will be broadcast, start
ing at 8 p.m. as soon as the polls
close, and continuing during the
night as long as returns are
available.
; Most of the 94 precincts in the
county have double boards thits
year, and it is hoped that sub
stantial, unofficial returns will
be available soon after the polls
are closed.
The KYJC election broadcasts
will be made direct from the
Mail Tribune office, where prep
arations have made for collec
tion and rapid tabulation of re
turns. In addition, a special
United Press election wire will

Last Two Brinks
Robbery Suspects
Captured by FBI
Man Who Supplied
Food, Drink Seized
Boston (U.R) Police today
arrested a man who supplied
food and drink to the hideout
of the last two Brinks holdup
gang fugitives.
Thomas Ballou of Quincy was
seized by Boston police early to
day at his home. He was accused
of being the messenger who
brought provisions to James I.
Faherty, 45, and Thomas F. Rich
ardson, 49, in the Dorchester flat
in which they were captured in
a surprise FBI raid Wednesday
night.
Caught Fiat-Footed
: Faherty and Richardson faced
arraignment today for their part
in the largest cash robbery in the
nation's history.
The last two members of the
Halloween-masked gang that ex
ecuted the $1,219,000 holdup six
years ago were caught flat
footed. A score of agents armed with
submachine guns, tear gas
bombs, rifles and revolvers
burst through the door of the
two-room flat before the fugi
tives could go for their guns.
The radio-directed raid was
over in minutes and tenants of
the three-story apartment buil
ding didn't realize until later
that two of the FBI's "10 most
wanted men" had been in their
midst for weeks.
Eluded Previous Raid
Faherty and Richardson had
eluded the FBI last Jan. 12 when
simultaneous raids throughout
greater Boston' netted six sus
pects and "broke" the case.
Agents found $5,009.08 in
rolled coin hidden in empty beer
cartons in the bedroom of the
flat. In the bathroom, under a
towel and on a chair near the
window, they found three load
ed revolvers.
. The capture brought to 10 the
men now in custody for the fab
ulous holdup at the Brink's
counting house garage in the

Main Interest
In Friday Me
. . Portland (U.R) Oregon Republicans tomorrow will pick a
candidate to oppose Sen. Wayne Morse while the state's Democrats
choose between Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver for
president.
These two races top a primary election ballot that also will see
candidates nominated for top state offices and Congress.
The race for the Republican nomination for U.S. senator has
equalled the Stevenson-Kef auver presidential battle in interest.
Douglas McKay resigned as secretary of interior following the
death of Gov. Paul Patterson to seek the GOP nomination. Phil
Hitchcock, a former state senator from Klamath Falls, has been
waging an intensive campaign.
Others seeking the nomination are Canby dairyman Elmer
Deetz and George Altvater, Portland engineer.
Morse is opposed on the Democratic side by Woody Smith of
Hood River who tried unsuccessfully to have the senior senator's
name removed from the ballot, claiming he is a Republican.

Talent Residents
Retain Officers
Talent The mayor of Talent
and three councilmen received
a vote of confidence yesterday
when residents voted to retain
them in office in a special recall
election.
A total of 227 ballots were
cast, according to Mrs. Nona Mc
Abee, city recorder. Three votes
were disqualified, she said.
A total of 126 votes were cast

95 to retain Councilman Rich
ard Bradford; 130 to 91 to re
tain Councilman William Coop-
er;'and 129 to 92 to retain Coun
cilman Jim Henry. .
The recall election was called
after petitions with 108 signa
tures were filed with the re
corder. Action for recall started
when the council discharged for
mer City Marshal John Baldwin
in what the recall committee
described as an "arbitrary and il
legal action.
Baldwin was replaced by Bill
Young, who assumed duties in
mid-April.' Young has had sev
eral years of experience in po
lice work, Mrs. McAbee said.
Portland (U.R) Crown Zel
lerbach Corp. has announced
that it will start work this sum
mer on a $2,700,000 addition to
its kraft bleach plant at the Ca
mas paper mill.
Valuations
mended the change as a result
of discussion with the legal
counsel for the Jackson County
Fruit Growers league, and it is
regarded as a compromise in a
dispute over tree taxation and
valuation which arose last
spring.
The dispute has kept orch-
ardists and tax officials in doubt
as to how much tax would be
levied on the county's orchards,
and it is hoped this will be a
step toward a solution which
may eliminate the need for fur
ther litigation. . -The
special committee will in
clude seven fruit growers, to be
appointed by the board and the
Fruit Growers league, one mem
ber to be named by the county
assessor, and to be named by
the state tax commission.
McKay and Hitchcock make
their final plea for votes in tele
vision appearances in Portland
tonight. Deetz wound up his
campaign confident that McKay
and Hitchcock would split the
partisan political votes and en
able him to win with the "silent"
ballots of farmers, consumer
groups and labor.
Both McKay and Hitchcock
have spent much of their cam
paign with attacks on Sen.
Morse.
Sen. Kefauver flew back to
Portland from Washington, D.C.
early today for a whirlwind
windup to his write-in campaign.
